I'm sure I am not alone when I suddenly recall some incident that took place in this lifetime in which I seemed to be caught up in a kind of Deja vu... In the experience I recalled this morning took place when I was fairly young, perhaps in my early twenties? In any case, I recall visiting a public camp grounds with a group of friends... somewhere in California. And this incident was a prolonged sense of having been a member of some Indian tribe, and having lived in the area of this campground before.
Specifically, I was in a strange space, mentally..., and at one point I was sitting on a large rock outcropping, and it suddenly occurred to me to dig in the earth beneath where I was sitting. I climbed off the rock, and began digging up the earth below where I had been sitting... which was a distance of some ten feet or so in height. I had only removed a little earth when I uncovered a rather large fragment of a large bowl. It was about ten to twelve inches across, and it was decorated. And the strange thing is that I had somehow known that it was there! I called a couple friends over to look at it, and we took it to the ranger station, and compared it with some of the fragments they had on display. The piece I had found was larger and in better condition that what was on display. And surprisingly, the ranger told me to take the piece, since they had plenty for display.
What I am getting at is not the fragment of pottery I found, but the fact that it "fit" my Deja vu sense of having been an Indian in the past, and having lived in that very area. I also realized a bit later that one of the females in our group had seemed vaguely familiar to me when I first met her... and that I had been aware that she was somewhat hostile toward me. I had this experience, as I am reporting, but I was not into Reincarnation at that time, although my strong sense of having lived as an Indian in this area was clearly a part of my experience of that campground.
Déjà vu
The problem with this definition by Wikipedia is that it is a typical intellectualism definition which suggests that a person only lives once. The definition avoids the possibility that a person very well may have lived before! Most definitions one finds in most dictionaries are written by people who are either ignorant of Reincarnation, or they simply do not believe in the concept of Reincarnation? Although not everyone follows the tenets of Christianity, the idea that a person only lives once is a dominant belief in he West.
One's Soul is immortal, it is one's physical body that is born and dies... and is Reincarnated into another life-form based on a person's Karma. In other words, one's life this time is entirely scripted, and we are the writers of the script by our own Karma -- which is composed of attachments to the Illusion that we have engaged in by what we have done in our past lifetimes? This lifetime after lifetime is called Reincarnation, and Reincarnation it is the the law of the Creation. And it is true that the individual human being only lives one lifetime... but it is the physical body of that person that dies. One's Soul with MIND attached simply shifts into the Astral realm at the time of death. And then one's Soul with MIND attached will be born again into one of 8,400,000 different life-forms we Souls can be born as. In the East, this is called the "Wheel of eighty-four". And the whole process is part of the Law of Karma, and we are the actors and directors of this grand play.
And the play continues for every Soul, over and over again, until a Soul is fortunate enough to be drawn to a Perfect Living Master [or God assuming the person of a Saint] to help those Souls that are "ready" to begin their long journey back Home.
Peace, 1 Brother James... And may each of us awaken to the Truth in our life time.
